Resurgent Health and Medical is introducing its new CleanTech IC hand washing system, which incorporates RFID compliance monitoring to ensure staff hand hygiene compliance.

The heart of the system is the use of patented, rotating cylinders that provide a high pressure, low volume water spray for fast, effective hand washing. Water and the company�s CHG-based solution are forced between the inner and outer sections of the cylinder through 20 jet spray nozzles. These nozzles are located throughout the cylinder to clean from fingertip to wrist.

Inviro Medical Devices' InviroSNAP! with InviroSTRIPE is a manually retractable safety syringe with a write-on stripe that provides sharps protection and performance advantages over retrofitted syringe designs.
